Kendrick Lamar announces US tour

He’s the hottest MC in the USA at the moment, and was responsible for our favourite album of last year and now Kenrick Lamar is gearing up for a huge tour.

Somehow inexplicably Lamar will be joined, for at least some dates, by EDM mastermind Steve Aoki and while we can’t really get our heads around how that matchup would make sense, we’re sure someone knows what they’re doing. At least we hope so.

Lamar is on a real winning streak at the moment, and with rumours appearing today that the rapper might be dropping a verse (along with Kanye) on a remix of Rocko’s dominating ‘U.O.E.N.O.’ and news cropping up about a collaboration with soul man Miguel, it appears that he’s rap’s new go to guy. We suppose even Drake needs a break sometimes. [via Pitchfork]
